Cristiano Ronaldo is a chief decision-maker at Al Nassr now. This means that if Man United wants to offload Casemiro, Ronaldo could hold the key.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a Man United legend, through and through. Sure, his second stint with the club was nowhere near as fruitful as the first, but his legacy was solidly intact anyway. Nothing has changed in that regard, and never will.
Now, Cristiano Ronaldo spends his days in Saudi Arabia, representing the Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr. In many ways, he's the poster boy, hence why he's priceless to not just the league but the entire nation of Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo stays at Al Nassr
Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo put pen to paper over a new deal in the Middle East. This was despite popular belief that he'd be on his way out, with Club World Cup adding more fuel to those rumours.
Nevertheless, Ronaldo stayed, which is huge news for the Saudi Pro League. Of course, they had to pay a pretty penny but they convinced Ronaldo in other ways, mostly, making him the chief decision-maker at the club.
This means that Ronaldo will have a say over the transfers made by Al Nassr and those players going out. While this might seem strange to a neutral, it's hardly a new phenomenon - After all, Messi was believed to make quite a few of the decisions while playing for Barcelona.
Casemiro should leave Man United, like Ronaldo
Now that Cristiano Ronaldo is the chief decision maker at Al Nassr, Man United fans might have a favour to ask. Let's hope that Ronaldo is keen to link up with his former teammate Casemiro.
Casemiro and Ronaldo have a splendid relationship. They played alongside each other at both Real Madrid and Man United, with both players spending their glory days in the Spanish capital.
Casemiro is one of Man United's better performers but, let's face it, that achievement hasn't been hard fought over the last few seasons. The Brazilian is simply top of an awful bunch.
Besides, Casemiro earns more than he puts out. Currently Man United's highest-paid player, he doesn't justify even half of that salary.
Therefore, it's in Man United's best interest to move on from Casemiro. This way, they'd be able to focus their attention on rebuilding and redistributing their wages more fairly.
